An endoscopic dilation method using the rendezvous approach for the treatment of severe anastomotic stenosis after rectal cancer surgery: a case report

Abstract: Background Postoperative anastomotic stenosis is a common complication in colorectal cancer patients (3–30%). Complete anastomotic stenosis is rare; however, when it occurs, almost all cases require surgical treatment. We herein report a case in which endoscopic dilation was effective for treating complete anastomotic stenosis after high anterior resection in a rectal cancer patient. Case presentation The patient was a 67-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic high anterior resection for rectal cancer (RS, … Show more

“…A dreaded complication of the procedure is anastomotic stenosis, which occurs in approximately 3–30 % of cases [1] . Depending on the degree of stenosis, various therapeutic techniques can be employed, including balloon dilation, endoscopic stenting, stapled stricturoplasty, steroids and electro-incision [2] , [3] . The most challenging cases include complete stenosis of the lumen, which frequently require surgical excision of the stenotic section of bowel with re-anastomosis [4] .…”
